I am so excited to show off my new "nephew" Benjamin Timothy Barakat was born to the proud mama and papa on Friday July 25, 2008 @12:27 pm weighing 7lbs 13 oz. and 21 in. long. We went to meet Rylan's newest buddy yesterday afternoon and we are so stoked he's here. Rylan wanted to play with him and touch him. The Barakat family is doing great. Mama looks fabulous and they should be going home today. Here are some pictures of all of us. Congratulations Tim and Angela we love you! Here's to many more years of joy and laughter.

Long overdue!
So much to catch up on. Rylan is now almost ten months old, he weighs about 18 and a half pounds and 27 1/4". The doctor suggested we give him formula, avocado, yobaby yougurt, and cheese to help him gain a little more. He must have a hummingbird metabolism like his daddy. Poor bubba his mama was starving him. Put that on my bad mommy list :( He is saying dada mamamamamama bababababab bubububub and lots ooohsss and ooooossss and aaaaaaaahhssss. He loves to be read to and is grooving to music all the time. He is feeding himself and totally mastered holding a sippy with or without handles. He is a big kisser, lots of loves from this boy. He is army crawling, rolling, kinda scooting wherever he wants to go. He is waving, giving hi-5's and clapping. He is taking lots of steps when you hold his hands, maybe walking is closer than we thought. He loves loves loves bathtime and got his first haircut yesterday (he did great, no wiggles and hammed it up for the pretty girls at the salon). He is so close but still not a single tooth. His newest adventure is getting under any bed or his crib and exploring, I think I'm going to have my hands full here pretty quick :) He is sleeping great and we are loving have some mommy and daddy time in the evenings just catching up with eachother. We met some of our neighbors who have the most mellow and beautiful baby boy Braden. We are so grateful to be meeting some people here and they are awesome! On Wednesday I went out for a mommy free night and saw John Mayer and Colbie Caillat. I had such a great time and both were incredible, I totally forgot how much I enjoyed going to concerts. We are going to a wedding next month and I'm a little nervous about having a crawling jabbering infant, maybe the boy and I will have to hang out in the back or join up at the reception, suggestions???? We have had a crazy busy summer with visitors and mini trips. Hard to believe my tiny baby boy is almost a toddler. He fills my life with wonder and love more every hour. I am so blessed to be his mama. Kenny has been golfing a bit and getting back into the swing of things-hahaha. We live very close to a small six hole course and you can play as long as you want for $10 until September so he is taking full advantage of that deal. My dear friend Angela had her baby boy Benjamin today at 12:27pm and we are crazy excited to meet him, hopefully tomorrow. Rylan is waiting to have yet another buddy to play with. I think that is pretty much it with us. Rylan changes everyday and in the blink of an eye will be off to kindergarten with a blubbering mother saying noooo! We are loving being back on the central coast and enjoying this new stage of life as parents to such a funny boy. I have lots of pictures to post so stay tuned for more.
